"The Jets are in the throes of a quarterback controversy after Fields was benched at halftime in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers after completing six of 12 passes for 46 yards this after he went 9-for-17 with 45 yards in a 13-11 Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London. Taylor, the veteran backup, did not make much of a difference in the loss, but team owner Woody Johnson ramped up the pressure to move on to him from Fields on Tuesday"
"It's hard when you have a quarterback with a rating that we've got, Johnson said. He has the ability, but something is just not jiving. But if you look at any head coach with a quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results across the league If we could just complete a pass, it would look good. You have to convince them that you can do something."
Aaron Glenn said the team will have a quarterback on Sunday and that the starter between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor will be decided on gameday. Fields was benched at halftime of a 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers after limited passing production, following another low-yardage game in Week 6. Owner Woody Johnson publicly criticized Fields' performance and urged consideration of Taylor. Taylor, the veteran backup, is listed day-to-day with a pre-existing knee issue, though Glenn expressed confidence he should be ready. Glenn emphasized that the starting decision will be his to make.
